Release Your Identity Part 1 (This post was left in the ‘not good enough’ pile of drafts in 2011, so much has changed since I posted, a re-birthing did take place and I became an author) The only way out is through. I have heard this saying a few times lately. The spiritual journey has many twists and turns and then you come to a place, after much dissolving, after…

Happy 2012 everyone. It has felt like a very long time since I last posted. Lots of changes, lots of developments and some shifts in my communication style. A couple of days ago I started posting videos on my You Tube channel. This week I have received my first ‘dislikes’ on my videos ever. And it is all because I decided to step from behind my comfort zone and…

One of the things many people neglect to do on the spiritual path is to question spiritual teachers. It’s easy not to when they are marketing teachings in the way sales pitches have been sold onto people for years. They fire us up, raise the passion and the excitement in us, and most of these teachers; “FUEL our DESIRE!” The emphasis is placed on attaining the ‘desire’ and much…

The sacredness of solitude is so often an overlooked experience to be had in life. Society is made to pity the lonely or those who live alone. Later in life single people at dinner parties are pitied by married couples with children. When you hit 30 it’s as if the whole world has gone mad in its desire to have you settled down and married. Especially as a woman. And…

I am told to express my feelings. To let them out. My writing is what I am all about. With tears streaming down my face, I find it hard to express this place. Today is my loneliness day. The harsh reality of feelings curdling through my soul. Instead of walking or talking back to a safe place It is time to express this feeling, my way. While on good…

I often wonder how does a writer write for a publisher? How do they go beyond the pressure of writing for an audience and write for themselves again? To have deadlines placed on them, I cannot see how this is an environment that allows creative juices to flow. As I feel like a fledgling writer, I sometimes place the perfectionist pressure on myself also. I Am A Writer In 2007…

I spend most days alone. With the exception of sharing a home with my friend Mike, at most 5 days of those I am walking in nature, being simply with myself, the birds, bees and Mother Earth. Many days it is a wonderous experience, exploring, enjoying nature, animals and all the creatures that walk or fly on my path. Occastionally, I have a very strong inner response, that of aching loneliness.…

It has been nearly 6 months now since I voluntarily left my last job. I left because I sensed my redundancy was coming. Once I decided to hand my notice in all my creativity flooded back to me. I finally understood what I wanted for my life, what my heart was longing to do. Travel the world. A deep part of me calling out to travel, finally I allowed…

Being an outsider is the most rewarding experience of my life. For many years I have tried to fit into a mould. During school years the mould of my peers, during college the mould of intellectuals, as my spiritual awakening happened – the mould of the spiritual elite. AND for most of the time I was always trying to fit the mould of expectations from my biological family. Always a…

Insights on myself are coming in thick and fast right now. Understanding my desires in life and revealing my true face to myself has been an eye opener. Why do any of us want anything in life? I realised my prime reason in life is to feel absolutely excellent! It is not to share, donate to charity, ‘be spiritual’ the overall essence of what I want in my life…
